That is only a rumor that surfaced in the 1930's, how do you know what thing I am talking about?

That's a naysayer trying to get you sidetracked. Ignore him/her and proceed with your project. There seems to be a BUNCH of new members concentrating on getting cache hunters off of their hunts. Recognize them for who they are and put them on "ignore".

Good luck and happy hunting.

Re: The Letter "A"

i found a picture of the rock from a online news article, i cant find where the "A" is in the picture but it is stated many times in the article, if anyone can see the "A" and help me out with what it means, that would be great

In this case the A would probably mean 1
In conjunction with other letters you first must have all the letters, their spacing as well as any closely touching marks like punctuation or other figures to be able to sort out the message.

Get out there and get some good pictures

in the article, the people who went there and took pics and wrote a thing about the area and the treasure story states there is only the letter "A"

Re: The Letter "A"

Two "A"'s on top right hand side. Larger one has crossbar broken to resemble a "V".

I really like the white eagle flying away.

A higher resolution pic would be great though, because I think I see a couple other things of interest

RIS,
The letter "A" if a Spanish mark is a confirmation mark and is a word meaning go, to or at.
it has a number value of 1.

HERE ITS ANOTHER MAP WITH SYMBOL OF A. CAN SOMEONE HAVE A IDEA ABOUT THIS MAP ?

 

[Shortstack]

Looks like an area map. Have you compared it to a topo map of your area? Could that "TN" stand for Tennessee or would that be too simple?? If it does stand for the state, then it's fairly modern.....meaning, post-Spanish.

I once found a boulder aprox 30 inches long X 18 inches high and wide, kinda egg shape that had a "A" carved on it looking to the north as you would carve it on the side, the pointed end looking at the sky, it sat wedged in a crevis and the cervis was about 18 inches wide and about 7 ft deep, it was aprox 12 ft long with a 30 inch deep hole in the north end. It was about 1 mile south from downtown Ozark Arkansas on a hill, I was there to help build the coffer dam on the Ark. River in 1965. To me a the letter A can mean a number of things, horizional = something--- upside down has a meaning , Angled-- open side down something, the one I seen was aprox 4 inches high and was in the middle of the boulder, My interpertation was ( as was told to me by an oldtimer was "something covered in a nearby land mark "

trackers old dog is correct..[as always]dont try to overthink the A - as no measuring was intended - just a pointer nothing more
if and I say IF..that sign was taken from the spanish code, then it works exactly like that..plain and simple...'go to'.
my best A had the longer leg point t o an encrypted compass heading! took years to unravel...and the other leg pointed to a sign carved on the cliff below and lite up by the sun...of a cap rock~! so plain and simple..one leg the heading and the other what was at the end of the line..a cache..

for the thieves 'A' I think I would take both compass headings or bearings, to see what the numbers are..
and a pic is really needed to be able to find out any more data....

Do you think that an "A" on a small carved K.G.C. map could be pointing to the next point or points in the same fashion as the larger carved symbols on the rocks you have found? what about two "V" symbols carved on top of each other pointing in two different directions?
Thanks, L.C.

That is interesting. I have no answers..just thoughts.

1. Try to learn all you can about the stone. What is the material? Does it looked hand carved? Where was it found and what was its alignment when in the ground.

2. Is there a significance to the time. Did some famous event happen at the time. Maybe related to its location, or if it is grave related..time of death.

3.Check those numbers and try to determine era from the form of the numbers. The 7, 4, 5,6 and 10 seems to be in an older style. When did they make letters like that?

3. Start simply by using 12 as north and check the hand headings.

4. Next add the hand headings and go that way.

5. Other possibilities include using 11 and 2 as distance numbers, adding them or not. Using one hand as heading, the other as distance. And any other combinations you can think of.

6. Then pay attention to the small possible marks, like the Y in the big hand, the circles and maybe a small mark and dots between 10 and 12.

It does seem a very unusual clock. There are aspects to it that raise the possibility it is more than it seems.
